The Chiefs were content to sit tight with the roster that got them to 8-0, instead of making a blockbuster move for Tony Gonzalez at the trade deadline.

Said Raiders coach Dennis Allen, “It’s great when you get a chance to get a win. You can’t ever take these things for granted in the National Football League. They’re tough to come by, so for us to get a win, get our record to 3-4, we’ve got an opportunity with Philadelphia coming in here to get our record back to .500, and maybe we can create a little momentum.”

Said Packers S Morgan Burnett of teammate Sam Shields, “He might not be your biggest guy but he’s a tough guy. He has the big play-making ability but he won’t back down from no one, I don’t care who you are.”
